To Lunge or To Squat? That is the question.

This is a clip from a presentation I gave at the Ottawa Ski Show called “Training Tips for Injury Risk Reduction & Performance”. This particular clip addresses squats and lunges and a spectrum of exercises in the squat progression. I think the only exercises missing from the progression I presented are the TRX rear-foot elevated split squat and TRX single-leg squat. Once you see the video, I’m sure you’ll know where to put them.
I hope you enjoy the progression analogy at the start.

I’ll be posting a few more of these in the coming weeks. Next week will be a clip about why we assess, taken from a “Functional Assessments for Trainers” presentation that I gave to a keen group of trainers last fall.

If there is a topic you’d like to see, please post it in the comments below. I may have footage from a presentation, and if not, I will try to film one at the studio.
